Today is the 130th Death Anniversary  of Karl Marx, one of the greatest philosophers the world has ever seen. He is the author of Communist Manifesto and Capital (4 Volumes) (along with Friedrich Engels) who expired on 24th March 1883. He analysed capitalism and explained that it is a stage in the development of the human society, but not the last and the ultimate. It is an interim  stage in the forward march to socialism and then Communism. Marx was born  on 5th May 1818 in a rich Prussian (Germany) family and was well-studied. He had to run from country to country since the authorities were afraid of his revolutionary theories. In his last phase of life he was staying in London continuing his research and writings using the vast collection of books at British Library. After the present global recession, his writings have become a matter of serious study.

When I went to London, I had the opportunity to visit the High Gate cemetery where he is laid at rest and paid homage to him. What is written on the tomb is relevant for all times: “Workers of the World Unite!”

I pay my respect and Revolutionary Greetings to one of the greatest revolutionaries of all times – Karl Marx !
